"I was the Honorary Consul for Mauritius in Seychelles for 15 years and I am outraged by the stone-cold criminal behaviour by so many companies and institutions he has been describing in such detail. My heart goes out to all my friends and colleagues affected and the incredible damage done to the fabulous environment of this beautiful island. An object lesson for Seychelles which is enamoured by the UN."
